Antenna and amplifier advice for Boulevard Park
The farthest main network tower for Boulevard Park is KCPQ (Fox), 23 miles away with a fair estimated signal. That is why we suggest an amplified indoor or attic antenna here. Viewers who do not need that station can often manage with less.
KFFV is only 8.7 miles away with a strong signal. Signals that strong can overload an amplifier, so start without one and add it only if distant channels are missing. Read when an amplifier helps.
